Tongpong’s place was the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed at in Bangkok. I am half-Thai so I visit Thailand every year and I would say that out of my 26 years experiencing Bangkok, this was the best location and vibe in the whole of the city.
I do enjoy hotels and the breakfast spread, but having your own space and paying half the price of a tiny hotel room, this is much better value and location-wise, was so good for being away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city area.
I do recommend it more for those who have been to Bangkok at least once in case you have trouble navigating! Also recommended for music lovers as it’s a close walk to Khaosan, but is far enough that you don’t hear anything from the bands when you’re trying to sleep!
However, even for those being in Bangkok for the first time, it’s also amazing because honestly, I feel most visitors would take taxis and the Grab and taxi meters there are really affordable! Instead of queuing in a jam in town, it makes much more sense to me to take a Grab into the edge of town to a BTS station, or even just Grab to your location depending on the size of your party!
My Husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this location and especially enjoyed the noodles right opposite and beside the In.Vi.Tation Cafe!
Do consider this as your top choice for Bangkok’s AirBnBs because most AirBnB’s are those condos in the CBD area of Bangkok and unless you’re working there, it’s not the most pleasant living experience compared to staying further out from the city in my honest opinion.
I love this AirBnB and will always stay here if there is an availability whenever my Husband and I are back in Bangkok :)
I would really say that out of so many years, my first time staying in this AirBnB has made the whole Bangkok experience even more special :)
